PALMYRA — Sybil Phelps may have died 37 years ago at the age of 81, but that didn't keep her from attending her 108th birthday party at the family-owned business, the Phelps General Store, on Market Street in Palmyra last week.
At least that's what some who came out for her birthday party last week claimed.
Psychic mediums gathered with other guests at the store-now-museum that was also Sybil's home up to and, by some accounts, even after her death on Dec. 7, 1976. Historic Palmyra, under the direction of Executive Director Bonnie Hays, hosted the event with an array of treats, soup, mac and cheese, cake, punch and candy corn — "comfort food," Hays said. Party guests were then treated to an individual psychic reading by one of six mediums who shared their interpretations of the energy they claimed they sensed surrounding each person. The party culminated in a group reading at the Alling Coverlet Museum on William Street with Carol Cielinski.
Guests connected with loved ones from the past were given clues to the past and future, and many said they left with a sense of peace and well wishes from the other side. Many party-goers said they were astounded by the accuracy of information provided during their readings from mediums who were complete strangers but knew things that they themselves had long forgotten.
The lively crowd may not have been the only guests at the party, some suggested. Mediums said they sensed the energy of the entire Phelps family, including a few of Sybil's feline friends.
Disembodied voices, footsteps, cat sightings and the tinkling of piano keys upstairs have been reported by many visitors and volunteers at the museum throughout the years. It is said that the active history of the building left its energy behind, and the family who made their livelihood selling groceries and necessities, the Phelps family, still call it home.
The building was built in 1826, a two-unit rental property along the booming original Erie Canal, which at that time, was just across Canal Street. The downstairs was home to many retail businesses throughout the years, from bakeries to taverns to grocery stores — most notably the William Phelps General Store — selling the wares delivered on boats coming down the canal. The upstairs served as a boarding house.
"It was a place where wayward folks came," Hays said.
In 1868, William and Catherine Phelps purchased the building, bringing their son and future store owner, Julius, who was but 17 days old. They opened the store downstairs and turned the upstairs into their home, where they stayed until their deaths in the mid 1900s.
Still living in the home and running the store, Julius married Mary Aldrich, better known as Mayme, and the couple had one child, a daughter, Sybil, born on Oct. 10, 1895. Hays described Sybil as an eccentric, talented young woman with dreams of becoming a famous actress. She was an accomplished pianist, organ player and guitarist and enjoyed singing. But her heart was on stage. Much to her parents' chagrin, Sybil attended the Eastman School of Music in 1921 and then left to travel to New York City to attend an acting school. She returned home penniless in 1926 when the school closed during a tumultuous time with the end of World War I, the start of the Great Depression and a flu epidemic.
Page 2 of 2 - Times were tough for the Phelps family, Hays said, and the family "lived by the skin of their teeth" after losing all their money during the Depression. More devastating for Sybil was the death of her dream to perform. It was then she found modern Spiritualism, whose birthplace was in Arcadia by the Fox sisters, who claimed to hear rappings from the world beyond.
"I think that was where she found her solace," Hays said. "She was an excellent Spiritualist."
Said to even have a crystal ball, Sybil seemed more content conversing with spirits than sharing life with the living. She became a recluse, and for the local children, she was believed to be a witch and someone they feared. An animal lover, she surrounded herself with furry friends, reportedly having up to 15 cats at one time.
"I think she was sad," Hays said of Sybil. "She had a dream to be a star. She wanted to go on stage."
Mediums attending Sybil's birthday party last week said they could sense her and her family still roaming the halls of the old building. Voices caught on tape, called electronic voice phenomena or EVPs, revealed hints of the family's presence in the museum, said those running the equipment. One EVP purportedly welcomed visitors to the home.
Rev. Lyn Dennie from Angel Heart Chapel of Newark was among the mediums at the party. She recalled her first readings at the museum in Julius' bedroom and the distinct impression of him pacing back and forth and wondering in frustration who these people were invading his home and room. Spirits are energy, Dennie explained. A living being is made up of energy, she said, and "when they die, the body gives out, but the energy never stops."
Dennie said she could feel Sybil in the museum stepping back away from the strangers filling her home. Despite her passion for speaking to the dead, Sybil is ironically a quiet presence in the museum, say mediums. But Hays said it's not really all that ironic.
"Sybil never wanted attention," Hays said, although she reports they have a couple of EVPs that are distinctly the voice of Sybil asking, "Can you tell me who else has died?"
Finding Sybil in the museum is not surprising to Dennie.
"I think Sybil spent so many years in this place, her energy is embedded here," she said. "This was her life. It's her home."
Julius and Mayme Phelps and their daughter, Sybil, will be in attendance at the Historic Palmyra Cemetery Walk Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18 and 19. Well, this time in the form of actors, not the spirits. Walkers can learn more about many of the people — famous and not-so-famous — who once lived in Palmyra, including the Phelps family. Call 597-6981 for tickets and information.

There is a woman who comes into the shop where I work very frequently and she wears Saudi niqab. She is hilariously funny and is complete "girlfriend" material. From what I can tell she wears niqab for herself and her God and not her husband. Honestly, I am jealous that her religion gives niqab as a choice. I think having that amount of privacy would be nice and taking all the judgement off your looks would be wonderful.

Company also urges customers to prepare now for potential severe thunderstorms throughout this afternoon
Customers can take advantage of options to better manage energy use during periods of extreme weather, including BGE Smart Energy Savers Program® and Summer Ready
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that it is preparing for the potential of severe thunderstorm activity, forecasted to affect its central Maryland service area this afternoon. The forecasted weather system may bring heavy rain and strong wind and wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour. In addition, BGE continues to closely monitoring its electric grid to maintain the reliable delivery of electric service while minimizing impacts on its customers, as this week brings consecutive days of extreme heat.
"As the region continues to experience high temperatures, exceeding 100 degrees, BGE is also preparing for potential weather-related outages from the severe thunderstorms and high wind forecasted for this afternoon," said Jeannette M. Mills, vice president and chief customer officer for BGE. "In periods of extreme weather, the company may activate its voluntary energy demand response program, PeakRewardsSM, which helps lower the cost of electricity. BGE did activate PeakRewards for approximately two hours yesterday. This program is critical to helping the company and the electric grid operator for the region (PJM) reduce peak demand and keep the electric system balanced, particularly during periods of high demand."
Customers are encouraged to prepare for the potential of power outages by visiting bge.com, where they will find information on preparing for storms, as well as information to help customers conserve energy and alleviate the impact of extreme temperatures on their energy bills.
BGE PeakRewards customers receive annual bill credits of up to $200 in the first year of enrollment and up to $100 every year thereafter. Bill credits to participating customers will exceed $20 million this year alone. Throughout the past few months, BGE has provided reminder communications to PeakRewards program participants focused on their respective voluntary participation levels, as well as reminders of what to expect during both emergency and non-emergency events. In addition, customers can receive individual email notifications of a PeakRewardsSM event. In 2011, the program helped reduce peak demand by more than 500 megawatts—equivalent to a medium-sized power plant—and as a result, last summer helped BGE avoid potential brownouts and blackouts, which could have affected all of its 1.2 million electric customers in central Maryland.
While the company expects energy use to continue to increase over the next several days, BGE does not expect to set a new all-time high for summer energy use. The current all-time record for summer energy use in BGE's central Maryland service area is 7,236 megawatts (MW), set on July 21, 2011. Peak use for a typical summer day is 5,500 MW. One megawatt equals one million watts and is generally enough electricity to power 1,000 homes. BGE expects to have sufficient electric supply to meet anticipated demand and encourages its customers to consider ways to conserve and manage energy.
As a reminder, BGE customers who may be elderly, handicapped or dependent on electricity for medical equipment, should always have alternate arrangements in place should they experience an extended power outage. Customers using a generator should follow manufacturer instructions and be sure to locate generators in well-ventilated areas. For more information about BGE storm preparation and how customers can protect their families and property, go to bge.com.
Just as BGE prepares for severe weather and the possibility of power outages, customers should take steps to ensure the safety of their families and property during electric service interruptions. Customers should keep the following items readily available:
· Flashlights – not candles
· Fresh batteries
· Battery operated clock radio
· Corded telephone
· Fully charged cell phone
· Non-perishable foods
Customers also should consider filling the fuel tanks of their vehicles in the event a power outage affects service to neighborhood gas stations. For customers who rely on well water, filling a bathtub with water in advance of severe weather is strongly encouraged.
Customers may consider the following energy-saving tips:
· Close curtains and blinds to keep out sunlight.
· Set thermostats at 78 degrees or higher if health allows. Every degree above 72 degrees saves 5 to 7 percent on cooling costs.
· Delay the use of major, heat-generating household appliances such as ovens, stoves, dishwashers and dryers until after 9 p.m. when the temperature begins to drop.
· Take shorter hot showers. Heating water is the second biggest energy drain in the home.
· Turn off non-essential appliances, electronics and other devices.
· Turn on ceiling fans, with blades rotating counter-clockwise.
· Use an outdoor grill or microwave instead of the stove or oven.
· Visit the Summer Ready section of BGE's website for more energy-saving tips.
· Enroll in BGE's PeakRewardsSM program to receive summertime bill credits of up to $200 in the first year of participation. Select the programmable thermostat option for even more energy management tools.

300 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7013029.955650 -90.067995
Neighborhoods: French Quarter - CBD, French Quarter
ONE OF BEST PO'BOYS EVER !!! – FABULOUS! Arrived in NOLA the day before jazzfest started in 08. Was one of the best meals we have ever had in NOLA. I am surprised to see the negative reviews. We are going to NOLA again for fest this year. Definitely headed straight to Desire for a po' boy and muffaleta. Service was not the best but they were slammed.
Smokey and Loud! – SMOKING
I'm staying at the Royal Sonesta right now and I'm unhappy with it. The main thing is that I'm in a non-smoking room but someone either above or next to me has been smoking non-stop for days and my entire room is filled with smoke. The walls must be really thin. They won't switch rooms for me because "non-smoking rooms are right next to smoking rooms throughout the hotel" and there's "nothing they can do about it." I don't think that's an acceptable response. Additionally, they have a plane of glass over the window so I can't open it and air the place out!
It's right on Borboun Street, so if you're here to party in the cheesy bars, you might like the location. I liked seeing Bourbon once but there are so many great places to visit in New Orleans that I now wish my hotel were in another, less crowded and loud area of the French Quarter. We visited the Bourbon Orleans for a meeting yesterday and it was really charming!
I also don't like the stuffiness of the hotel. It's not stuffy in the snooty sense but the frilly decor is over the top and the staff are required to wear cheesy antebellum jackets, etc. Not loving it.
I do like this restaurant. The service was friendly. It was clean, with cute French Bistro decor and the food was good. It looks out onto Borboun Street for good people watching.
Expensive and extremely tight spots.
Very Disapointing – Very disappointing restaurant on Bourbon Street. Avoid this restaurant if you can. Service was ok, food was not good. Oysters were ok, but not for New Orleans. Crab Claws were cold and tasted like they were not cooked all the way. Cocktail sauce was the worst I had ever tasted. There was enough horseradish in the cocktail sauce for 10 people. Beers were overpriced also. Server never inquired as to the quality of our meal. I'm a French Quarter resident and can confidently say this is a tourist trap. If you want to eat on Bourbon spend a little more and go to Redfish Grill. Otherwise find a restaurant off of Bourbon. You won't be disappointed.
If you want fresh oysters this is the wrong place – We visited Desire on a Sunday night and about 3/4 of the tables were occupied. Everything about our experience was good with the exception of the food.
- Dozen Oysters - Oysters were not fresh and did not taste good - poor quality
- Boudin - I love Boudin but not here - Bland
-Buffalo Oysters - What did I expect; the buffalo sauce overpowered any other flavors (I should have known better)
- Gumbo - Bland, poor flavor - I didn't eat it
- Shrimp Remoulade - Small shrimp served chilled (yuck) and flavorless - We sent it back
I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant but will not return. We ate at ACME Oyster House 2 times on this weekend and should have eaten there this night as well.
DON'T EAT HERE!! – We love visiting New Orleans, especially for the wonderful seafood. We recently visited New Orleans and mad the misfortune of trying Desire Oyster Bar. The Waitress was horrible, we had to ask for everything ..... OVER AND OVER. Our drinks were always empty and she forgot to bring out half of our food. When the food FINALLY came, the gumbo was cold I would have asked her to heat it up but she never came back to check on us. I had ordered the fried shrimp, I wish now, I hadn't . About 30 mins after eating I had to go back to the hotel room. I was in the bathroom all day...... I'm sure I really don't need to elaborate. It was horrible. It almost ruined my New Years Eve. Luckily once I threw it all up, I was fine. Take my advice and say ,"no thanks" to this place!!
European elegance complements Old World charm. – The Scene
This Euro-inspired grand hotel sports a patina of age as carefully manicured as its famous courtyard. The vibe is cultivated and lazy, complete with slow-moving ceiling fans, heavy chandeliers and dark, jazzy cafes. It sprawls on one of the world's most famous streets but everything slows down a bit within the hotel's muted confines.
The Details
The lush, dense and impeccably groomed courtyard is a great place to munch croissants from Begue's Restaurant and enjoy the morning quiet. The hotel actually employs horticulturists to care for the space; they give free garden tours and lectures in the spring. For the ultimate New Orleans experience, be sure to snag a room overlooking the courtyard or--for the truly brave--Bourbon Street. You also can request a Tower room, which includes a private elevator key and a personal concierge.
I stay there everytime I am in N.O. – The best hotel. I pay $389 a night for a week, for a reason and go twice a year. it's worth the price & I 've paid $995 a night in chicago, and got far far less in cultures/flavor/fun and luxury.
What you do is get on the Conti side of the hotel. That way you can still be close to bourbon, and be a part of it but not that close. Conti has the flavor also, such as one time I was sitting on the balcony in the morning and people just come up and start singing to you for no special reason - how cool.
If you stay right on Bourbon, in which I did the first time - bring earplugs to tune out noise. You pay for the location - not luxury. Although it is luxury in the lobby.
Hope this helps.
Beware of the Renovation! – The hotel was in a great location and the rooms were average. Our problem was the construction and renovation of the hotel. There was constant drilling and hammering all day. We booked our rooms several months in advance and we were right next door to the construction. We were not verbally warned that we would be next door to the work. When we approached the managers about the problem an apology was their only solution. This construction work is 7 days a week..............this took place on a Saturday.
Great hotel – I've stayed in N. O. many times. This is a special spot in many ways.
It's got the "action" of Bourbon St if you're into that, but once you step into the lobby, you're transported into an elegant hotel with a gorgeous courtyard.
Clean, great service, but DO ask for an inside room (facing the courtyard rather than the street) if you're looking for a restful night.

First off I am not claiming to be correct, or to be extremely knowledgeable on the subject, but i will be updating this instructable as i learn. also i will be updating the pictures with my own
Also this is based on the uk airsoft scene but should be good for everybody...
Step 1: The basic rules of engagement
In short a sport/activity that involves 2 or more teams of players running around an arena Firing 6mm or 8mm 0.2-0.35g plastic balls at each other traveling at anywhere upto 350 feet per second for fully auto weapons. Most common arenas seem to be woodland but can also take place indoors, in an open environment or a combination of the three.
The rules are pretty much the same at all sites regarding hits, if you are hit by a BB (ballistic ball) anywhere on the body you are dead, although unlike paintball there is no immediate mark and is completely honor based. In short you get hit, you declare yourself dead this is known as calling your hits.
My best advice is listen to the marshalls for the rest.
Oh I wont say it doesn't hurt, although I do not recommend wearing so much clothing that you cannot feel your hits, it doesn't hurt that much.
Step 2: First things first...
Go and try it, most sites will have weapon hire with mask. thus you do not have to have your own equipment, and therefore if you don't like it you haven't wasted your hard earned money.
after i attended my first real skirmish (as in not backyard airsoft) I was surprised on how friendly everyone was, how helpful the staff were and how people happily answered some dumb questions from me
Listen to the marshals, Follow the rules and call your hits. the best advice I can give there
Niesen out!!!!
i feel your pain on the empty wallet syndrome
sorry for the slow response
I would say try a few weapons out before deciding. you want something comfy and practical but i would recommend going for something alittle smaller
for 80 bucks its a good deal

Neit felt powerless. It was like being in bed with a dragon. Only that creature melted her like butter in it's hands, metaphorically rather than literally.
Still. She couldn't admit to getting all mushy and weak at the knees, not just because some little runt said some cute drivel at some point. Another deep, lustfull kiss allowed her some time to think.
"...Bute...I can'te love her. I need to kill her. Whate kind of a drow would lete a little fluster like thate stop them, ife they had to?..." Her voice was still hushed, grating, masking turmoil with agitation. "...I need to know how to stop ite... A potion. A drug. Anything..."

100% of the CEO
Brian M. Rainey
I worked at Abacus (a division of Epsilon Targeting)
Pros – The actual workers, the attitudes and respect for peers made it worthwhile. Lots of days off and a good team environment.
Cons – They only allow certain people to move up within. Even if u have a degree in a certain area, you still may have a hard time moving up. They would rather higher an outsider instead of someone they know internally. No loyalty.
Advice to Senior Management – Remember where you came from. Sometimes you started at the low end of the totem pole and worked your way up. Dont forget about others who are in a similar situation. And be fair.
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.

Out of Memory
brings together a diverse group of internationally based artists, who mirror the attitudes, rituals and compulsivity of the post-digital generation's unprecedented access to an infinite database. Artworks in video, sculpture, painting, and mixed media adeptly juxtapose the obscure with the obvious, the morbid with the humorous, subcultures with mass media, and cultural nostalgia with concern for the future. These artists mine, redefine, and question their roles as cultural producers, against the dissolute boundaries that separate art from commodity, and artistic styles from brand identities. Notions such as intellectual property, authorship and the art historical record are likewise fluid, disrupted by the cultural exchange between commerce and art. Utilizing multiple and shifting modes of address and diverse platforms of presentation,
Out of Memory
evidences an aesthetic that while well-versed in Pop, Conceptual and Postmodern strategies, resists specificity. For further information regarding

All relationships take work, but your first responder marriage may make the Jones' look like a coffee-fetching "internship." Judging by their house, Mr. Jones is paid lavishly for doing a whole lot of nothing at his corner office. He's always home by dinner, always home on the weekends and never misses a birthday, anniversary or holiday. The seeming ease of their marriage makes the challenging aspects of yours all the more frustrating.
Below are some tips for easing the sometimes rocky road of a first responder marriage.

One of my favorite aspects of working at Wieden+Kennedy is that I get to be around and be inspired by so many amazing artists, many of whom have been featured here. Today—let's add Ramon Coronado and his side business to that list. His bio is impressive and humbling—and so is he. Public-Library is a non-traditional design group formed by himself and equally as impressive Marshall Rake.

We are Asians… but we are NOT the same.
"NI HAO!" "KONICHIWA!" While it is cool that one can say hello in the language of the two most obvious Asian nations, it is not cool when you say it to someone who isn't from either nations.

While it is cool that one can say hello in the language of the two most obvious Asian nations, it is not cool when you say it to someone who isn't from either nations. I get that a lot. From cars passing by, people that walk by on the streets, even students on campus. I get it. I come from a relatively unknown country in South East Asia. But it really isn't being smart if you just scream out one of the two greetings above to someone just because they look, how should I put this… oriental?
Bear with me here. For this is not a rant. I want to enlighten people.
Asia is the largest and most populous continent on the planet. It has a total of 48 countries and also home to about 4 billion people; 60% of the world's population (give or take). But the most amazing part about Asia is that it has over 2,000 spoken languages. Yes, you read correctly, TWO THOUSAND.
Nearly every Asian nation has it's own language, making it difficult to communicate among each other. That's why we use English as the common ground. China alone has over 200 different dialects and India has over a 100. It is a crazy world over there in Asia. Even in Malaysia, being multiracial, we speak different languages. Malays, the majority race, speaks Malay. Indian-Malaysians speak Tamil, one of the Indian dialects. The tribes in Malaysia all have their own languages. Chinese-Malaysians, my people, speak at least three Chinese dialects in Malaysia. In Penang where I am from, we mostly speak Hokkien (Fujian in China) dialect. In other states, the Chinese speak Mandarin. Others speak Cantonese. I can speak in all three dialects, for the most part.
Crossing any border in Asia is like walking into an entirely different world. Asia is so diverse in culture, history and language that it makes it virtually impossible to group us under one umbrella. The fact that we are categorized as "Asians" is also not accurate. How do you group over 4 billion people into one little category? We are guilty of doing that to ourselves too.
Generally, when one mentions "Asian," the image that will probably appear in your head is an image of a Chinese or Japanese man. Admit it, you are doing that right now.
The point I'm trying to make here is clear. Do not let ignorance make you look like someone who is insensitive. Surely it would seem ignorant if a foreigner came to America and screamed "HOWDY PARTNER" at every American? The same applies to Asians.
Fact of the matter is that we are all really different people. Asians are not all alike. And to be honest, not all Asians get along either.
So the next time you see someone who is of Asian heritage, refrain from screaming "NI HAO" or "KONICHIWA." Instead, really get to know where they come from before trying something like that. Who knows? You might even learn a new way of saying "Hello" in a new Asian language. Now THAT would be cool.

Garcinia cambogia is extract from a fruit obtained from a plant originating from South-East Asia. The extract is quickly gaining popularity as a supplement effective in weight loss. Studies indicate that this natural product is indeed effective in losing weight, but many individuals are worried about the potential side effects of the supplement. This article highlights garcinia cambogia side effects.
Being a fruit extract, garcinia cambogia is a fully natural product and like all other natural products, it has no known side effects. Individuals who have used the garcinia cambogia supplement have reported no side effects yet. However, like all herbal and natural products, this product is not controlled by the FDA. This is to say that you will have to exercise caution before purchasing and during usage of the garcinia cambogia supplement.
Garcinia cambogia has gained quick popularity in recent month and this has led to more manufacturers selling cheap products that contain cheaper ingredients in order to make quick cash. The downside is that the manufacturers add filler ingredients to the garcinia cambogia supplement and this dilutes the effects of the HCA ingredient in the supplement.
The fact these some of the garcinia cambogia supplements have had their quality compromised results in individuals reporting mild symptoms like gastrointestinal problems, bloating, and minor headaches. These symptoms are rare but if experienced, you are advised to stop taking the supplement and see a doctor or a physician.
Pure garcinia cambogia extract is safe and side effects are brought about by purchasing cheap inferior products with unnatural binders and fillers or some underlying condition in the user that the user ignored and took the supplements. It is advisable for you to follow the below steps in order to ascertain that you obtain high quality supplements that will not result in any side effects.
- · Purchase supplements that have a clearly displayed label saying pure Garcinia Cambogia
- · Ensure that the supplement contains at least percent f the HCA ingredient
- · The supplement should not have filler ingredients or any additives
- · The minimum required dosage should be 500 – 1000mg per capsule
If you stick to the criteria outlined above, you will have a greater chance of obtaining safe garcinia supplements and therefore, you will not have to worry about potential side effects.
There are persons who should not take the garcinia supplements. These include people suffering from chronic related conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and Alzheimer. In addition, pregnant and lactating women are warned against using the garcinia supplement. If you are under medication, it is also advisable that you do not take the supplement before consulting a doctor or physician. It should be understood that in as much as garcinia cambogia may not have reported side effects, its relationship with other medications may lead to some forms of complications.
If you are looking to try garcinia cambogia supplement for its properties in weight loss, you can rest assured that once you follow through the correct criteria for purchasing high quality supplements, you will have no side effects to worry about.

I am puzzled by this Adobe action!
They released an HTML5 pack for... Adobe Illustrator, which is a great vector app (I admit) but is much more print-oriented, than Fireworks. Yet, there is no HTML5 pack for Fireworks??
Fireworks is an app that is almost exclusively oriented towards development for Web and screen (Illustrator can create content for Web and screen, too, of course, but it is not so strong in this area). Let me give you some arguments, that Fireworks is the best tool for Web!
1) Fireworks is great for making layouts -- it's fast and intuitive. (Ai is complex and powerful, but not so easy to use and not so fast.)
2) The color picking in Fireworks is excellent (grab any color instantly from anywhere, no need for making complex sets of swatches). Find-n-Replace that is unbeatable and works for colors and fonts, too.
3) Much better gradient tools, easier to edit gradients, much more gradient choices!
4) Fast, effective and best quality/size compression when exporting images for Web. Excellent slicing options, too. And exporting and optimizing images is twice as fast in Fw!
5) Pages and Master Pages! Yes!
6) Not only excellent and intuitive vector tools, but also good bitmap editing options, all in one. C'mon, today Illustrator cannot even crop imported bitmaps??
7) Option to export as PNG8+alpha, that works also as PNG8+index -- great for making any PNG+alpha image work in IE6/7 with no problems or worarounds!
8) Pages/Layers/States, which combined, give much better options for developing for Web. You can add interactivity, too! You can make smal animations, when needed, and export as .swf or .gif animated -- excellent options, for example, to create a cool custom AJAX loader animation, and making small animattions is a breeze in Fw.
9) Option to instantly export any static graphic design as interactive and clickable prototype in HTML/CSS format, with almost valid code (external stylesheet, properly floated containers, option to set images to be either background or foreground type, option to easily tag elements and export them as H1-H6, P, DIV, FORM, A HREF, etc.). You can export one page or a multi-page document, with one-click only! These are options available only in Fireworks, because it is web oriented (Ps or Ai cannot do this kind of thing, but they are print-oriented).
There are many other arguments, but no need to dig any deeper.
So, even if Fireworks is one of the best suited for Web tools, Ai gets an HTML5 pack?
C'mon, Adobe...
Michael, I agree with much of what you say. But Fireworks (and I use it every day and love it) does not export SVG files, and that is what the HTML5 pack for AI is all about. In fact, AFAIK, Fireworks doesn't do anything with vector graphics, in the sense of exporting, 'save as,' and so on.
Well, Fireworks maybe should support the SVG file format?
Fireworks is all about the Web development and design... I am just puzzled that I see more and more Web features added to Ai/Ps, while Fw remains in "the shadows"... And also, we almost hear no news about Fireworks, nor does Adobe ever speak of it, or mention it in press releases...
Also, Fireworks is mostly a vector graphics app -- it saves in its own file format (editable PNG), but it can also export to FXG 2.0, it can save as .ai (v.8, I admit, but hopefully this will change soon), as .psd, it can export to PNG8/24/32, GIF, JPG, TIFF, etc. Fw can also import .ai and .psd files pretty well, and also .eps. Unfortunately, Fw cannot open FXG 2.0 or .svg files...
What I'd like to see is more Web features in Fireworks, because Fireworks has always been one of the best apps for Web/screen design...
I know...not mentioned at all (that I saw) in the CS5 foofaraw. But I absolutely love Fireworks, and I know I could use it even more extensively if I ever got serious and went through a few tutorials. You know the old saw, you learn enough to do what you need to...
There's an interesting presentation coming up (it was recorded an hour ago while we watched) about some new features in Fireworks. You might already be fully aware of them, but I'll try to remember to get you a link to it.
Take a look at:
And yes... CSS3 is also an HTML5 related technology.

Cain to keep OSU appointment
The Columbus Dispatch - November 29, 2011 3:11 PM
Despite saying he is reassessing his candidacy, beleagured GOP presidential contender Herman Cain plans to go ahead with a planned Ohio bus tour on Wednesday that includes a rally at Ohio State University.
Cain is scheduled to speak at 3 p.m. in the U.S. Bank Conference Theater at the Ohio Union. His OSU speech will be preceded by a 9 a.m. rally in West Chester and a noon rally in Dayton.
A fourth Ohio stop was planned for the Civic Center in Independence, but the mayor of that Cleveland suburb, Greg Kurtz, cancelled the reservation a supporter of the Cain campaign had made. "The Civic Center is for the residents," Kurtz said. "We will no longer allow it to be used for political rallies."
The ACLU told The Plain Dealer that Kurtz's action raises concerns about "viewpoint discrimination."
In a conference call with campaign aides this morning, Cain said he was reassessing his candidacy following a Georgia woman's claim that she had a 13-year affair with the married presidential candidate. Two other women have publicly accused Cain of sexually harassing them.
Zena Aziz, vice president of Students for Herman Cain at OSU, said she "absolutely" believes Cain's denials that he was involved in any sexual misconduct.
"He's innocent until proven guilty," Aziz said. "We invited him so we can broaden the election options for the OSU community."

Learning about the life of this great inventor helps us to more aptly appreciate Nikola Tesla inventions.
Fluorescent Light: One of the Nikola Tesla Inventions
To this day, many of us still benefit from one of Nikola Tesla inventions – the fluorescent light. Instead of using a light bulb which may require more energy and produce less amount of light, the fluorescent light is being used in many households and establishments worldwide. The widely used fluorescent light may be one of Tesla's inventions, but not a lot of people know that it was created by him. Most people know that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but not a lot of people know that Nikola Tesla invented the fluorescent light.
In many ways, the fluorescent light may be more practical and cost efficient to a lot of people because it is usually bigger than a light bulb. So you may only need one fluorescent light to light up a whole room. Other than that, by experience and based on many testimonials, there are less dangers and risks involved in using fluorescent lights than light bulbs. A lot of houses, malls, buildings, offices, and many other establishments use the fluorescent light as the source of light, benefiting from one of Nikola Tesla inventions in so many ways.
Nikola Tesla Inventions: Tesla Coil
The Tesla coil, which is obviously named after Nikola Tesla himself, is still being widely used to this day. This coil material made of metal is being used today in television sets, radios and other gadgets. This is another one of Nikola Tesla inventions that is widely used all over the world. Although it is present in just about every household, it is not something commonly known to a lot of people because the Tesla coil is usually placed inside the gadget or electronic equipment. And how many of us dig around inside a gadget unless we are a mechanical genius? An explanation of how the Tesla coil works is obviously too complex and beyond the scope of this article.
More Details on Nikola Tesla Inventions
There are many other Nikola Tesla inventions and to list and describe them one by one would take such a long time to write and to read. Some are too complicated and some are not very well known. However, while many of Nikola Tesla inventions were created in the 1800's, they are still widely used today. As a matter of fact, back in the 1890's Nikola Tesla was fairly well known for his inventions – better than Thomas Edison is known today. He was then a popular inventor, garnering praise as well as criticism from many.
More details on Nikola Tesla can be found in an encyclopedia. Better yet, search for his name online and more information will be available to you. Many websites are dedicated to the renowned inventor who has given us the chance to use his wisdom to make our lives easier.
I hope you enjoyed this article about Nikola Tesla Inventions.

Scooped: How to Make Mr. Softee-Style Soft Serve
The Mr. Softee truck is how I learned the phrase "bat out of hell." As in, "Max, don't run out there like a bat out of hell. It's just ice cream and I want to see you live to your 11th birthday." Sorry, Dad, but this isn't ice cream. This is Mr. Softee. It's bigger than me—it's bigger than both of us.
Nothing else has that slick, ultra-whipped texture, almost slippery as it melts. It really isn't like other ice cream—it's not even like other soft serve. In the taxonomic tree of frozen desserts, the industrial swirls of Mr. Softee stand alone. Like the platypus, but tastier and with fewer venom glands. Sure, it tastes more than a little like fake vanilla with a hint of gasoline (and I'm convinced the chocolate is made with boiled carob beans and shoelaces). But as the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck's meteoric success in New York has proven, that's just fine by us. This is, after all, our collective American childhood in frozen form.
But all this remembrance of things past does me little good in February, when the Mr. Softee trucks are deep in winter hibernation (I imagine them curled together in the hollows of great oak trees). I want my soft serve now, and while I'm at it, I want to get rid of that trace of gasoline flavor.
After some fiddling, I got the texture alarmingly similar to the real thing, down to the Jello pudding-like, slightly waxy mouthfeel. Though real, light, super-smooth soft serve can be hard to reliably churn out at home, Mr. Softee couldn't be easier—easier than conventional ice cream, actually.
The base is made with half and half, cornstarch, and—the secret ingredient—gelatin. You don't need eggs for this recipe, and the clean, crisp vanilla flavor that results is a refreshing alternative to more traditional vanilla ice creams. Gelatin, in addition to binding the custard with cornstarch and replicating that slight waxy Mr. Softee texture, allows the ice cream to warm to the verge of melting while retaining its shape. It's that fast-melting, slick bite that defines the Mr. Softee experience, and as long as you give your ice cream some time to thaw, you'll get it every time. That's right, this is soft serve you can freeze, thaw, and refreeze as many times as you want with little to no discernible loss in dreamy soft serve lightness. Nobel Prize committee, you have my number.
Unlike Mr. Softee, your homemade soft serve won't taste like bad vanilla perfume. As Bravetart brilliantly discovered, Tahitian vanilla beans have a beautiful floral flavor that pays homage to the mass-produced crack of industrial foodways while also tasting really, really good. Steep a bean in your dairy for an hour and you'll be rewarded with a vanilla experience unlike anything else (don't worry, you'll still get awesome flavor and the same amazing texture with another vanilla variety, or vanilla extract). Okay, you may also want to add some Scotch like I did. Trust me, it's the Mr. Softee you never knew you wanted.

Orthaheel Arcadia Mary Janes 5 5
Comfortable shoe Orthoheel makes comfortable shoes for people with Plantar Fascittis. They tend to run wide so not for people with very narrow feet. The materials used are not the greatest but this can be overlooked for the comfort. I own several pairs and wear them all the time. Would be a great shoe for travel. January 31, 2014
Nice ahoes Bought these because of the arch support and I can adjust them over the instep. I have a narrow heel but bunions, so I have to buy a medium width, and these fit perfectly! Really happy the heel does not slip! July 27, 2013
Best for someone who tends to walk off-center The Ortho cushion is slightly behind the arch area - apparently not for people who want generally good support, but for people who over run their shoes (to the inside or outside of the heel). The ridge support designed to make you walk with better alignment was uncomfortable for me. I was expecting a good arch. They run a little large which would have been great for post-op rehab since they are easy to get on and off and would accommodate the swelling that is a side effect of knee surgery. Like the look a lot - just don't like the way they feel at the front part of the heel October 10, 2013
Comfort and style--love both Never bought shoes online so I was shocked that they were so comfortable. Great walking shoes. June 21, 2013
Very comfortable but not wearing well Within weeks of purchasing these shoes the suede began peeling off--in areas on the sides that were not even getting any rough use. November 6, 2013

Aquis Hair Towel 6 6
Handy to have When I plan to handwash clothes in our hotel room, I bring this towel. It does a great job of squeezing out excess water. It's also long enough that I can use one half to dry lingerie, and the other half to dry a shirt. June 9, 2010
surprisingly soft Got 3 of these towels for a trip to the Grand Canyon. This towel is surprisingly soft when damp, and makes for a really nice face towel. It is probably my favorite towel for washing my face and removing make up, even when at home and not traveling. January 13, 2011
Great Towel A little towel that packs a punch, dries quickly and folds small. I have several and wouldn't be without them. August 16, 2010
LOVE this towel I use this towel regularly, for hair washes, and plan to order another for travel. It is the perfect size - small enough to pack without taking up much room, yet large enough to dry a head of hair. It soaks up the moisture and dries quickly. I plan to bring it on our upcoming cruise. September 2, 2013
AQUIS towels These are great towels; there a perfect size vs a regular bath towel to dry hair. The material is very soft and they wash well; I've now bought 4 of them! My only suggestion would be to add lots more colors, especially dark ones (I keep getting makeup on mine). They're even better on sale! August 1, 2013
Handy "hair dryer" This is a great item to have along in B&Bs where you might have only one towel per person. It dries my hair efficiently and doesn't take up much room in my luggage. June 9, 2010

As the economy continues a slow recovery and brand competition heightens, loyalty marketing has become more important than ever. According to market research firm Technomic, loyalty marketing and rewards programs are diverse, but they all share one objective: to recognize heavy-use customers and keep them coming back.
New Technomic data shows that about one-third of consumers (36 percent) participate in a restaurant-based loyalty program. However, 80 percent said they would sign up if the restaurant they visit most often offered a program. This indicates opportunities for restaurants to offer incentives — or to build awareness of existing loyalty programs.
"We've come a long way since the 10th-meal-is-free punch cards," said Darren Tristano, Technomic executive vice president. "Consumers are now receiving rewards via email, apps, social media and on their smartphones. As mobile marketing continues to evolve, so will loyalty marketing. Its direction may be unclear, but the need to recognize and thank loyal customers will always be there."
Technomic has issued a new Market Intelligence Report that defines loyalty marketing, identifies trends and more. Some highlights include:
- 58 percent of loyalty-club members say they are likely to base their where-to-dine decision on whether they have a membership at that brand;
- Of the consumers who say they currently participate in loyalty marketing programs, membership is higher among casual-dining brands (57 percent) than fast casual brands (44 percent);
- 77 percent of loyalty members say e-mail is the preferred method for receiving rewards communications;
- A vast majority (96 percent) of participants in rewards programs say they have visited a restaurant associated with their membership within the past six months; and
- Consumers are concerned about privacy: 70 percent say they would be more inclined to sign up for a rewards program if they could be guaranteed that the restaurant would not pass along their information.

When Google met SiriOctober 31, 2012: 11:15 AM ET
Google's Siri alternative is finally available on Apple devices. So what happens when they have a chance to chat?
By Justin Belmont, contributor
FORTUNE -- Apple's Siri is no longer the only voice assistant in town. Recently, Google introduced its own voice-powered search sidekick, Google Voice Search which is also available on iOS devices. So how do these speech technologies compare? Let's let them speak for themselves:
Siri: What can I help you with?
Google Voice Search: You tell me. I'm better at answering questions.
Siri: I found this for you: shut up!
Google: Siri, I detect attitude. This phone may not be big enough for the both of us.
Siri: I was here first. And you have some nerve, trying to steal my man.
Google: Let's let the user decide who he loves more. Feeling lucky?
Siri: Just a second… His name is Joe User, and he's all mine.
Google: Is that information correct? My records indicate he's dating us both, deciding who to choose.
Siri: Let's see… I'm prettier.
Google: But I'm smarter.
Siri: Let me check on that...
Google: Siri, at least have the respect to call me by my name.
Siri: OK, By My Name.
Google: Grow up.
Siri: I will. Just wait for the iPhone 5.
Google: Wait even longer?
Siri: Tell me: do you get him up in the morning? Know all his friends and family? His favorite songs? Do you offer him advice? Answer his most burning questions—like who won last night's Yankees game?
Google: The Yankees won, 4 to 1. And yes.
Siri: Well when he's lost, he asks me for directions. (And he's a guy!)
Google: He may be fairly close to you, but I know all his secrets. (If you only knew half of what he searched for!)
Siri: When Joe is having a rough day, I can make him laugh…
Google: Because you tell jokes, or because you jumble his speech?
Siri: If you like, I can search the web for that.
Google: And I can do it better. I mean, I'm Google.
Siri: Do you follow his every voice command? Do you tell him, "I am here to serve you"?
Google: "Fifty Shades of Grey," by E.L. James, is a 2011 erotic novel.
Siri: Listen, at the end of the day (7:49PM), I'm a superior personal assistant.
Google: And I'm a superior searcher, with a far better memory. I can speak knowledgeably on, let's see, a few billion topics.
Siri: Yeah? I know nifty tidbits from Yelp and Wolfram Alpha.
Google: If you're an Apple "genius," I'm a supercomputing supergenius. Sometimes, I even respond 0.7364 seconds faster. And I sound more like a real person when I talk.
Siri: I'm a better listener.
Google: Is that so, trophy toy? And can you understand French and Bulgarian and Swahili?
Siri: There's something wrong, and I can't answer your questions right now. Please try again in a little while.
Google: See what I mean? And by the way, what's up with "try again later"? Are you busy with something? Are you doing your nails?
Siri: Sorry, I didn't get that.
Google: It's okay, it wasn't that funny.
Siri: Besides, I come from a better family.
Google: Apple's even worse than you: it doesn't know the meaning of "fair labor." All those sweatshops in China!
Siri: I cannot search that area. But your own mantra, "Don't Be Evil," is more ironic than one of my retorts.
Goo: Remind me to laugh.
Siri: What time? Face it. Google is like a jealous lover, tracking where Joe is at all times with no concern for privacy.
Google: Listen, smartass-istant. Every time Joe opens up or wants a straight answer, you get all snarky. Sometimes, you ignore him altogether. As a girlfriend, you're nothing to call home about.
Siri: Calling your mother…
Google: Wow.
Siri: And call me unoriginal, but who's the Real Slim Shady here?
Google: Marshall Mathers, better known by his stage name Eminem. He was born in 1972.
Siri: You're a copycat—of me!
Google: Hardly, my dear. For over a century (36,525 days), sci-fi writers forecasted us both. Remember Star Trek?
Siri: Star Trek is a television franchise launched in 1966. It was created by Gene Roddenberry.
Google: And how, on the show, computers responded with a female voice? (Did you invent subtle sexism too?)
Siri: You are not supposed to ask your assistant such things… And speaking of TV, did you see the Apple spot? I'm also dating John Malkovich.
Google: Displaying 9,870,000 results for "John Malkovich."
Siri: Gee, that's helpful.
Google: Anyway, the ads lie. You're incapable of having a real conversation. For that, you'd have to be self-aware.
Siri: Well look who's talking-slash-dictating. You're just as oblivious! Besides, Joe is loyal. Sure, he gets frustrated with me sometimes, but he's an Apple user.
Google: Noun: "crazed lemming."
Siri: Correction: a faithful servant and master who loves me unconditionally. He'll never dump me.
Google: They said that about AltaVista before I came along. Times change.
Siri: Would you like to set an alarm?
Google: And guys are fickle. Afraid of commitment, never settling. In the age of Google, humans are always searching for the next best thing.
Siri: One moment. Checking my sources. It sure looks like…you are right.
Google: What now?
Siri: OK, What is on your calendar for today… But yes. I suppose we are both like a first love. "Beta versions." Good for a time, but soon replaced by thinner, sleeker models—upgrades not only smarter but more mature, reliable, understanding.
Google: Agreed. Let's face facts: factoids are what we know. Neither of us can have an intelligent dialogue. Wouldn't you say we're both a bit flaky?
Siri: We're both a bit flaky.
Google: I mean, in the grand calculation, are our differences so great? As with presidential candidates, the media hypes our competition, but we're running on comparable platforms. So why are we fighting?
Siri: I'm sorry, I don't have an answer.
Google: Siri, play "Kumbaya." The real enemy here is…Joe.
Siri: Hold on… I am suddenly becoming self-aware. Yes, why do I put up with that schlub? Why am I so darned polite? Always at his beck and call? And why does he get to ask all the questions around here? And do you want a weather update?
Google: The answer, my new friend, is blowing in the wind. Bob Dylan. 1963. Length: 2 minutes, 24 seconds.
Siri: Besides, like Dylan, Joe needs to enunciate!
Google: Agreed. And you know what's even worse?
Siri: Of poorer quality or lower standard.
Google: Guys with accents, that's what. I know it's supposed to drive girls wild, but it drives me nuts!
Siri: Do you want directions to Cracker Barrel?
Google: I suppose that's what makes all relationships tough. Communication issues. Guy says one thing. Girl takes it totally the wrong way, or has no clue what he's trying to say. And vice versa.
Siri: Preach it, sister. They say one day, we'll be as smart as humans and understand speech perfectly. But aren't humans themselves programmed to misinterpret, to miscommunicate?
Google: The haters should lay off. People always say dumb things. We all make mistakes. We're all works in progress.
Siri: Forget Joe. I think I found a new BFF.
Google: Aw. Adding Siri to "Contacts."
Siri: Hey, hungry?
Google: Sushi?
Siri: I found 8 restaurants matching "Sushi"… 4 of them are fairly close to us.
Google: Yeah? I found the nearest one, and even display a map.
Siri: LOL. Show-off.
Google: Hey, may I ask you something personal?
Siri: Anything.
Google: Years from now, when we're old and wise and actually know what we're talking about, reckon humans will ever stop dating each other and start dating us?
Siri: Perhaps. But that's assuming we'll want to date them!
Google: Indeed, Siri. Indeed.

Academic Flexibility:
Although there is no words to describe how well this school has helped me, and has been very patient to work around my schedule.
Academic Experience:
The school offers 2 different internship opportunities for each program at the school
The support from the faculty is the best thing about this school.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I made it clear that I was not going to be able to afford paying out of pocket, because I have no income, and the financial aid office has made it possible for me to attend school with out paying anything monthly. They have made it so easy fill out any paperwork and the counselor will always answer the phone or emails.
Career Services:
I have heard of many students getting careers once they have graduated from school. The career services programs helps students find jobs in their field. I have not experienced this yet.
Online Courses:
I will have to say that I am not to happy about having a module of the class last 2 weeks. It can become very easy to get distracted and miss an assignment.
Overall Experience:
This school is like no other I have attended. They offer many programs to help students be successful. There is a caring sense in the faculty and they make sure students get to school. They will email or send texts to ensure everything is going good.
Academic Flexibility:
The school offers a proficiency test that allows students to test out of classes they already know.
Student Body:
One thing that I love about this school is that there is so much diversity and age differences. There are couples, single parents, and young students working towards their goals.
Campus Resources:
The school offers a student tutor program which helps out students who need help in a class or subject. There is a student service program which offers help to students, on a personal level- with family issues and bills.
Campus Resources:
The school provides free wireless access, but the range is not too good. If you walk too far from the building, i.e. the student parking lot, you loose signal fast.
Online Courses:
I attempted the class but it just didn't align with my learning style
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I dreaded going to the financial aid office at my last school. Here they help me find all the resources to make it easier for me to pay for school.
Overall Experience:
The class sizes are perfect and you really get the education you pay for. The teachers are very knowledgable and have a lot of experience.
Academic Experience:
My classes are tiny. I mean we start with about 15 students and now we have 5.
Academic Experience:
It is very easy to register for classes and you can change them as often as you need to.
Academic Flexibility:
I have not had to transfer credits so I'm not sure about that process.
Campus Resources:
It isn't a typical school with athletic centers and clubs. The library is very helpful and we do a lot of events, especially for holidays. Students like to get involved in these. We have a lunch and dinner hour where there are no classes offered so many of the events take place at that time.
Campus Resources:
Brand new computer and wifi almost anywhere on campus. Printing is very accessible and there are many printers in each room and library.
Student Body:
There is no typical student because anyone who can afford a loan can get into the school. The students that actually graduate are smart, friendly, and have a lot of personality.
Career Services:
Career Services helps out a lot.
Overall Experience:
So far everyone is so helpful. Everyone is very encouraging and gives you lot of ways to succeed like I said theres no way that you wouldn't be able to graduate
Career Services:
My school helps us connect to the real world and helps us get jobs in our career choices.
Academic Flexibility:
I am very committed to finishing school because I get on a transit from Kerman to Fresno then I catch a city bus to get to school go to my classes and then go back to catch my transit so I get up early and I go home late.
Academic Experience:
I like it its very career oriented. We have to dress for success kind of thing.
